So you you've read the reports, watched and listened to the games.
Who is here opening night?
I see Ennis/Moulson/Stafford/Myers/Gorges as a lock on the first line.
Hodgson and Stewart are bookends on the second.
Gionta and Foligno should flank Girgensons (despite a very nondescript camp) on the third.
And McCormick wasn't signed to play in the minors. He'll anchor the fourth.
Meszaros and Benoit are locks on the blue line and Risto should join them. He's ready.
Neuvirth backs up Enroth
Rounding out the blue line, Weber held off Strachan and McCabe has earned a shot, at least until Pysyk gets healthy. Zadorov didn't show enough.
They won't risk Deslauriers on waivers, but I think he's earned a spot on the fourth line anyway.
Flynn and Mitchell outlasted Dalpe for the other depth spots, at least until Kaleta comes back.
And Mikhail Grigorenko edges Sam Reinhart for the number two centre spot.
They will probably keep Sam around for his nine games just to see what plays out because there is a spot available.
But right now there is no room for him in the top nine.
